Why is the world going slow on intranasal vaccine development
for coronavirus |
Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has indicated that
Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute of India will pursue
clinical trials of intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 in India
and that they are seeking regulatory approval. While
Serum Institute of India in a tieup with US' Codagenix
started producing CDX-005 for trial purpose last month,
Bharat Biotech has entered into an agreement with
Washington University School of Medicine for another
vaccine. Both are expected to go into the final stage by
year-end. Yet there is a stepmotherly delay in producing
this simple, effortless nasal vaccination. Because, it looks,
that does not involve billions in this golden age of the
pharmas. The intranasal vaccine, when made available, will
truly revolutionalise covid treatment. | | See Report |

Democrats have condemned Trump's action just before a
presidential election as an attempt to pack the highest court
with pro-Republican judges. Rushing a nomination just before
election has never happened before. This is the third nomination
made during Trump's tenure and the court has now a 6 to 3
conservative majority. 
Shaktikanta Das, RBI Governor, and Devendra Fadnavis, former
Chief Minister of Maharashtra and currently in charge of BJP's

country arrangement. 
Maharashtra State Health Minister Rajesh Tope said since

available at affordable prices by capping the rate in the
range of Rs 3 to Rs 49. 
Even as the ban on scheduled international flights continues, air
bubble is a limited bilateral air traffic agreement exclusively
between two countries with a view to facilitating essential travel.
